Crypto tokens\`s getting more poppular these days, which is one of the reasons I decided to write this article. So, before we start, let's briefly take a look at the term. What is a token? A token is essentially a tradable digital asset with a real-world use (a good example is a Bitcoin, which is a tradable, divisible digital asset with real-world use for the exchange of goods and services). The issuer of a token creates and manages it, and it is designed to run on a blockchain. If you're interested, you can read more about the 'subjective' definition of a token here. If you already have some opinions, you can check out the #ethcon17 FB group or the Ethereum EU Community — because this group isn't going away anytime soon! And now, let's go on a tour of the crypto universe with four tokens and see what we have to offer! (Note: we won't be touching on Altcoins, which are essentially cryptocurrencies with completely different features, like Proof-of-Stake vs Proof-of-Work, or ERC20 vs ERC223 tokens.)
